A Thank You to the Chengdu CWI

In lieu of presents for both Jack's birthday and a "Welcome Home, Jack" party held at my office, Chris and I requested that our families and friends instead provide new clothing to be donated to the Chengdu Children's Welfare Institute (CWI) where Jack was raised from the time he was a few months old until he came home to us last July.
"...we want to give back to the Chengdu Children’s Welfare Institute in return for the precious gift they gave given us in Jack. Nothing could come near to giving the orphanage what they gave us ..."
What resulted from our generous families' and friends' hearts was 37 pounds of clothing! All those clothes are now in three boxes on their way to Chengdu!

Thank you, dear friends! We will never forget your thoughtfulness! Ahhhh, to think of the smiles when these packages are opened!
